Action sought over loose slates 'hanging off the rafters' in Mayo town centre

Loose slates on derelict property in Ballinrobe town need attention.

There's a number of houses which are the subject of a planning application, understood to be by an approved housing body.

But slates are literally hanging off the rafters, Councillor Damien Ryan has highlighted.

With two storms recently, he asked if the council has been in touch with them to carry out remedial works.

Until construction starts, slates need to be removed and dropped down into the building.

Someone is going to get 'sliced' if the wind carries one of the slates, he warned.
